My research interest center on the history of the early solar system as revealed by understanding the compositional diversity and geologic processes that have occurred on small bodies. Using spectroscopy as a tool, I examine telescopic and spacecraft data of asteroids, comets, and the Moon, in addition to laboratory studies of meteorites.

Past efforts have included work on Galileo lunar and asteroid data and as a Co-I on the Deep Impact mission to comet 9/P Tempel 1. Currently, I am Deputy-PI for the Deep Impact extended mission and a Co-I on the Moon Mineral Mapper (M3)instrument to be flown on the first Indian lunar mission, Chandrahan-1.
